When you spring wood that wakes you up at night and you can no longer sleep. I am talking hours. or when you wake up in the morning and there is nothing you can do to get it to go away and you don’t want to walk down the hall and to the bathroom and have your brothers and sisters see it. I mean for a teenager and sometimes even a man it is crazy. Get on the bus, boink. sit in class, boink. sitting at church, boink. I mean for no reason. It is like my body was constantly doing test runs. Sometimes you can’t get rid of them. Can any of you guys out there relate to this when you were young? Sometimes the only way to curb your thingies enthusiasm is to masterbate every once in a while. when I was a teenager it was like every day.Of course I don’t, I’m not a man. I never claimed to “understand” what this is like for a man. But I can imagine what it would be like for a woman. Of course men and women are different but that doesn’t mean that men and women don’t have some of the same issues just not in the same way because of the differences in our bodies alone, not to mention the physiological and the hormonal and others too.
My “objection” to this activity would not be because I “have no idea” about this subject. Example; I would NOT want my husband to be doing this, not because I would be “jeolous” but because as a wife, it is my “duty” (lack of a better word) to get this man to Heaven. And he will not get to heaven by doing THAT. As husband and wife we are to Sanctify each other. And how can we do that if we condone each other’s sins?
Aren’t you your brother’s keeper? Yes… we all are. “Admonish the sinner” not because we want to “punish” or because we want revenge. On the contrary, I would want to try to help save your soul. I know only God can do that, but you know what I mean.
Have you talked to your priest about this? Have you confessed this sin? You will get Grace for confessing this so that you can overcome this. Ask God for the strength to help you overcome this sin. Pray, pray and pray some more. If you get the urge, stop and pray before it happens, then offer up your “sacrifice” for not doing it. God will make you strong. This is a matter of just making a decision once and for all to stop because you know this is a mortal sin. I think “cold turkey” is the best and only way to stop anything. It will only be harder if you “take your time” trying to stop.
I said a prayer for you.
I used to go to confession every week for a while there when i was younger. I asked many priests to tell me what to do. Most said read the bible and pray about it. I did that many many times. I can’t tell you how many rosary’s I did for purity. sometimes I yelled out to God in desparation telling him I didn’t want to go to hell over something so stupid. I even tried pleading with God to make it just go away because I am apparantly powerless over it. I started to tell God that he created this in me and that he is therefor responsible for it. Well none of these things worked of course.
funny thing is later I found out from my male friends that they are ALL the same. I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE of them was just like me! that made me feel much better.
I fully understand the Catholic churches position on this. And I hope that I don’t end up in hell because of it. But as for most men I know, there will be a lot of men in Hell, good men who feed the hungry, forgive their neighbors and lead otherwise very christian lives, in HELL for masterbation.
My weakness is being lazy sometimes. I also don’t pray as often as I should. I try not to talk to my girlfriend on the phone because then the gossip might creep in.
